Derf caught the manner in which Natalie's expression shifted and felt kinda helpless. So...his hand went into his hair for loads of ruffling as the professor finally began the lesson. Which brought about a HUGE sigh of relief in that they were NOT going to be doing any conjuration today. Thank MERLIN.

Relaxing into his seat a bit, the Hufflepuff took a moment to muse over the Transubstantial Transfiguration. Really was, you know, drilling the point home now, wasn't it? Although considering there were four branches of the subject he supposed this was one way to make sure you knew what you were talking about. Given that, you know....it wasn't UNDOING a spell...or producing something out of thin air...or banishing it into non-existence.

Although, technically, if one were undoing a transformation spell by means of untransfiguring...then wasn't that also a transformation spell?

He probably should not ask about technicalities in class though and simply refer to his textbook later. It only ever cause Jessa's head to go spinning off into orbit.

"But...TECHNICALLY...isn't that Trans-species Transformation and not Transubstantial Transfiguration?" Derf asked upon raising his hand at what the two Slytherins were discussing. "Also...is it...um...really right...or fair...or accurate I suppose...for us to classify metamorphagi and werewolves in the same category as animagi? Since...you know...their transformation magic is in their BLOOD and not something that wizardingkind can learn? " He paused to ruffle his hair a bit, chewing on the inside of his cheeck since he has sorta just gotten off topic and was now concerned about technicalities. Again. "What we did previously...turning Marimo Moss Balls into Betta splendens is a more accurate display of...um....pure... Transubstantial Transfiguration...I think...but things kinda overlap loads...like...human transfigurations and Trans-species Transformation...cause those are a subbranch and stuff..."

His thoughts were now running circles in his head. Lots and lots and lots of frantic circles.
